PLOW.

Application filed November S, 1912 Serial No. 336,635.

To all whom it may concern.

lie it known that I, JULIUs Szronausnas, a citizen oi Russia, residingat Chicago, county of Cook, and State of lllinois, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Flows, of which the following is aspecification. w i

This invention has as its object the provision of means whereby a harrowmay be attached to plow in such a manner as to perform the operation ofharrowing or levg the ground at the same time it is being plow d.

' object is attained by the novel con struction and :ombination of partshereinafter described and shown in the accompanyira ings, forming amaterial part oi disclosure, and in which- *igure 1 is a perspectiveview or" a plow and harrow made in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the harrow taken on line 2-2 of Fig.l, and,

F 3 is a cross sectional view of the attaching means, taken on line 8-3of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the numeral 10 designates the beamof an ordinary plow, to which are attached the guiding handles 11,having a brace 12 securec therebetween, and on the side of one of theguiding handles 11 is a small box 14c, secured by screws 15, the boxhaving a look or catch 16, to secure in any articles it may contain.

At the forward end of the beam 10 is a' clevis 17, secured by screws 20,to which the draft animal or animals which are to draw the plow areharnessed.

At the rear of the clevis 17, extending from the beam 10, is a bracket21 having a steel blade or colter 22 attached in the usual manner.

A mold board 23, has at the bottom thereof a land side 2%, and securedtherein is a shaft 25 of steel or chilled castiron properly shaped torip open the ground, the share being secured by screws 26, all of theseelements being attached to the beam 10 in the usual manner.

Secured between the olevis l7 and the beam 10 is a plate 30 having ahole 31 from which a rod 32 extends at an angle so as to engage the end33 with another rod 35 which extends from the crossing point where it issecured within a hole 37 in the plow beam 10 The end 36 ot the rod 35 isengaged by a yoke clamp 40, the clamp engaging the two Specification ofLetters Patent.

rod ends 33 and 36 and also another turned rod end ll which is pivotallyengaged within a hole in the clamp 40.

Extending downward from the clamp 40 is still another rod i l, andsecured at its end is a fork i5, carrying an axle 46 upon which isrotatably mounted a trailer wheel 4? which rests upon the ground androtates as the plow is drawn'torward.

A brace 50 is secured between the two rods and and has a square casing52, se ured by screws 53. in the casing 52 is a worm wheel 54 liiedlyengaged upon the turned end 4]. of a bent rod 55, the rod end 41entering within hole 56 in the bar 50.

Passing through a hole 5?, and engaged within another hole 58, in thecasing 52, is another rod 60 having a crank handle 61 at its outer end,and at the inner end a worm 62 with which the worm wheel 5% meshes.

As the crank handle 61 is turned, the worm 62 turns the worm wheel 54,which is tired upon the rod end 41, thereby turning the rod 55 into anupward position. As the rod 55 is moved upward it pulls the chain 68,which is attached at one end to a loop or indentation at tie center ofthe rod 55, the other end of the chain being fixedly engaged to theharrow by a staple 65.

A chain 64: is attached at one end to the rod 35 by a sleeve 66 securedby a set screw 67. The sleeve 66 has a ring 68 to which the chain 64 issecured' The other end of the chain 64 has two branches 70 and 71, eachbeing secured to a roller 72 which is rotatably mounted between the sideboards 78 and 74: of the harrow, comprised of pieces of timber or metaland set with teeth 75.

Fixedly engaged upon the roller 72 is a V may be attached a manner whichwill be clearly understood, thereby providing a farm implement that atone operation performs the united operation of plowing and harrowing inan effective manner.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A plow attachment of the character described including means forattaching a harrow to the plow, comprising a pair of con' signature.

scribed including means for attaching a harrow to the plow, comprising apair of converging rods, a yoke clamp connecting the meeting ends ofsaid rods, a brace bar between both rods, a casing secured to said bar,a bent rod having an indentation centrally thereof to form a crank andsecured with one end to said yoke and with the other to said brace bar,means iorattaching the harrow secured to the indentation out said bentrod and to one of said converging rods, aworm wheel on the'end of saidbent rod, a crank handle having a worm at its inner end Ineshing'withsaid worm wheel for operating said bent bar to tilt the barrow at anangle.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my JULIUS SZIDLAUSKAS.
